Mount faculty are invited to a social justice luncheon with
guest speaker Julie Tanner.

Julie Tanner joined Christian
Brothers Investment Services (CBIS) in 2002 and is the Assistant
Director of Socially Responsible Investing. She is responsible for
engaging with boards and corporate management to encourage the
development and implementation of robust and substantive
environmental, human rights, and corporate governance policies and
practices. Ms. Tanner’s leadership to improve corporate performance
on human rights issues led the Coalition to Abolish Slavery and
Trafficking (CAST) to honor CBIS with its Founder’s Award in 2011.
She is a member of the governing board of the Interfaith Center on
Corporate Responsibility and on the board of ECPAT-USA, an
organization dedicated to fighting the human trafficking of
children. Julie is widely quoted in the media on corporate
governance and corporate responsibility issues, is a frequent
panelist at major SRI conferences, and writes extensively on the
topic, including co-authoring the recent report, “Effective Supply
Chain Accountability: Investor Guidance on Implementation of The
California Transparency in Supply Chains Act and Beyond.” Prior to
joining CBIS, Ms. Tanner spent ten years in the financial services
industry, most recently with JP Morgan Chase, before moving to lead
the Finance and Environment Program at National Wildlife
Federation. Tanner holds a BA from Rutgers University, an MBA from
Pace University, and an MS from North Carolina State
University.
